BCCL has announced major growth initiatives, including a 15 MTPA Block-E mining project and the operationalisation of the 2 MTPA Bhojudih Washery. These developments aim to boost production capacity, improve coal quality, and support India’s growing steel sector demand.
Strong Push Towards Capacity Augmentation
New Delhi: Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL), headquartered in Dhanbad, has announced significant developments aimed at expanding its production capacity and strengthening its position in India’s coking coal sector. The company’s latest updates underline its continued commitment to operational efficiency, long-term growth, and enhanced supply to the domestic steel industry.

BCCL has been actively pursuing strategic initiatives to scale up its mining and coal beneficiation capabilities. These efforts are aligned with the rising demand for high-quality coking coal, particularly from India’s rapidly expanding steel sector. The newly announced projects represent a major step in reinforcing the company’s core business and boosting its contribution to the country’s industrial growth.
A key highlight of BCCL’s expansion plan is the upcoming 15 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) Block-E project. The tendering process for this large-scale project is scheduled to take place within the current financial year. Once operational, Block-E is expected to significantly enhance the company’s production capacity.

According to projections, the commissioning of this project will increase BCCL’s overall output by approximately 15 percent. This substantial addition will not only strengthen the company’s coking coal portfolio but also secure its long-term supply commitments. With domestic steel production on the rise, the expanded capacity will help meet growing raw material requirements and reduce supply constraints in the sector.
In another important milestone, BCCL has successfully operationalised the 2 MTPA Bhojudih Coal Washery. The facility is expected to reach its full peak capacity within the next two to three weeks. This development marks a crucial advancement in coal beneficiation and value addition.
Coal washing improves the quality of raw coal by removing impurities, thereby increasing its efficiency and market value. With the Bhojudih Washery now functional, BCCL’s washed coal output is set to rise significantly.
This is likely to result in better price realisation and improved profitability for the company. Additionally, the availability of higher-grade washed coking coal will directly support downstream industries, particularly steel manufacturers that rely on consistent quality inputs.
Through these initiatives, BCCL is reinforcing its role as a key supplier in India’s industrial ecosystem. The combined impact of increased mining capacity and enhanced coal beneficiation infrastructure positions the company to better serve the nation’s infrastructure and manufacturing ambitions.
